Rough time starting

The starting problem is becoming bigger as temp go down here in Lancaster pa. but I have rela timely new batteries and a new alternator installed.alternator was replaced in summer 2016 as it stopped supplying adequate charge and batteries were replaced last winter.

truck will randomly be dead at times and randomly useally in the morning's after colder nights will be a fight to start.

my question is: where is the main ground located? I suspect it's not good anymore and I'm thinking if I just take it off and clean it that will help things out.
